Yamaha dont actually make any of that stuff.  Oil and filters can be bought from local parts  stores    and if your able to plan ahead a bit often can be bought  on sale ( like a $110  Penrite HPR full synth 5l oil pack on sale for $70) . Any good quality oil  of the correct spec will do . Ryco oil filters are good , spark plugs from same sort of place ( shop around  , I was looking for a  BR7hs -10 and found them for between $5.90  and $34  ). T stat from alixpress , waterpump kit  from ebay . Probly the only thing I would spend  factory parts prices for would be the cam belts .... unless you can find a good brand  ( like Gates,  I got my last one for the Honda from Saeco's)
 There is good money to be saved if you can be bothered . If you have the mechanical nouse to fit this kit  you shouldnt have to much trouble knowing suitable parts .
Have a look on youtube  , there will be  plenty of vids showing you how to do the service . One thing I reccomend is to get stuck in with the cleaning gear  as its a good way to lean about where things are    and thusly anything out of place will be ( more ) obvious Smile

My Suzuki has just come out of warranty so I will be doing the servicing myself from now on. To be honest i was a bit disappointed with the last service back at the beginning of the year as I asked the guy to just service the motor and not touch anything else. When I picked it up he told me that the fuel/water separator in the boat had broken when he removed it. I did not ask for this to be checked and he also broke the bilge pump bracket at the same time. I also discovered out at Anchorite that two of the four spark plug leads were loose. Since the service I have noticed that the pee hole flow was a bit low so recently I dropped the leg off to inspect and found that one of the impeller vanes was pointing the wrong way. 
Any hoo - this has led me to source a service kit for my engine for next time and they are available locally but I have also found them on Ali Express. My particular one is $130 including impeller kit, anodes, oil filter and all the required gaskets. I just need oils and spark plugs. 
I’ve decided to go for it so will see what it’s like when it turns up, fingers crossed.
 
Oh what a smasher - two eggs and a rasher!

promt parts seem inexpensive,no issues on returns and staff know what you actually need.

Yep, the kits are about $300 + oils for my engine so let’s see what turns up.

Probly the hardest part for the average guy is  sussin out the condition of the cambelt ( if fitted ). 
I dunno how correct this is  but  I take the average speed of my car ( button on the dash ) then work out how many hours  it would take to  do 10,000kms at that speed ( 10,000   divided  by 64 = 156 )  so every 156 hours my engine needs a service ........ and at that figuring  a cambelt should last over 1500hrs ...........nahBig smile   cant see myself sleeping well at that . I havnt done 30 hours on this motor but I have changed the oil twice ( leg too ) and theres a new cambelt to go on .
I also remove the cam cover and paint a bit of engine assembly grease on all the cam lobes and squirting a bit of oil on the followers before starting after a few months sitting  ..........cant hurt .....just remember its the moly sulfide grease that makes the new oil go a bit dark quickly .  Holds bugger all  2.4L . Id be happier if it held 4 L

Just an update on my Suzuki service kit from Ali Express.
I serviced the motor before Xmas and have since put about 5 hrs on it.
Everything in the kit fitted just like the original parts, only issue was that there was only 4x anodes in the kit but I need 5. No worries, I reused 1 and will order an extra next time.
I bought spark plugs from Repco and got the oils on special from Burnsco I think.
The motor is on about 300 hrs and the service manual says the valve clearances should be checked. I’ve never done this before so a bit apprehensive but turned out to be quite easy. All were in spec so all good. Would be a different matter if they needed adjusting as they are bucket shim type. I’m sure I could do that though.
Overall, I will be looking after the motor myself from now on and suspect I will only need the help of a professional if there is an issue I can’t resolve.

I wouldnt loose sleep over them bucket shims , once they are set right  , if you do your bit  ( good oil , let it warm up a bit  before going over the hump , dont rev the tits off it )  you will probly never need to re set them.
One thing I do  is remove all the bolts holding something on ( gear case  for example ) one at a time  and clean and re-anti-seize them and refit ..... then next time  I do the power head bolts  , just makes life easier when you need to get it apart Smile

Yamaha recommend Yamalube, marine oil is definitely different to oil made for cars. Anti corrosion additives for a start. Bit like saying marine batteries are the same as car batteries, sorry they aren’t.

If you are going to service your own motor, you need to make sure you follow the manufacturer’s service recommendations. Which don’t just end when the motor comes out of warranty. How are you supposed to service things like the trim pump, check the seals in the leg, check engine compressions and the list goes on and on.

The other thing where outbounds are different to car motors, cars have a gear box which means your car driving down the motorway sits on about 2000 rpm. Outbourds normally sit around 4500 and should be run at different revs to stop excessive where. Not many car are run for long periods at hi revs, I often run my engine at wot on the way home from fishing.

So at these types of revs you will need to keep an eye on things like valve clearance and yes you will need to adjust them later on or good luck if you don’t.

There’s a lot of people that think outbourds are just car engines and good luck with that as well.

As for service kits from China, good luck with that as we’ll.

I wouldn’t go near a outbourd serviced with parts from China.

I cruise at 3800rpm and give short bursts too 5200rpm,think it may go 5500rpm but need to stay in control.top is 45 mph flat water cruise at 25

China parts are interesting,last merc part from prompt parts made in Taiwan. Guess under licence and control?

Bit like a frod ranger where was it made?? parts from south korea/taiwan and mexico

I have bought  gaskets , seals , coils , crankcases , crankshaft assy ( inc pistons  , rods and rings ) pump kit , reg/rect  and  quite a few tools  ( not small hand tools like spanners ect ..... still a bit leary  ). 
The only issues I have had is the freight dropped the 1st crankshaft assy and knocked it out of line and broke a piston skirt ( sorted very happily  ) and a pair of matching machinists V blocks ........that did not match .... not even @#$$#ing close .
 Pcj  A lot of manufactures out source parts   and so many come from china  .  Get this Big smile whilst looking on google for a Tohatsu coil  and I find one on Ali for $19  , I also found one from a US supplier  for $58us  + freight  . Upon close inspection  both adds used the same set of  images .
I know  some of you see this as a failure to support local  , probly the ones who cant do their own servicing   but when I can get a genuine Honda cam belt (14400-zv5-014)  delivered x Japan  for a hundred bucks less than the local guy . Yes Kandrew Smile  I would be reluctant to use a no brand ying tong cambelt  . I hear what your saying  but gotta be a bit selective Smile
